    “Gran Turismo” is currently shooting in Hungary. It is directed by Neill Blomkamp (“Elysium”) and scripted by Jason Hall (“American Sniper”) and Zach Baylin (“King Richard”). It is even based on a true story. The plot is described as the ultimate wish fulfillment tale. It tells the story of a teenage “Gran Turismo” player (Madekwe) whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver. 

    Harbour will portray a retired driver who teaches Madekwe’s character how to drive. Hounsou and Halliwell-Horner will be playing the teenager’s parents. While Puig is cast as his brother. Stradowski’s character is a rival driver and Kretschmann will play his father.
